Information on PRE-SAFE Impulse Side
If an imminent side impact is detected, PRE-
®
SAFE Impulse Side can pre-emptively move the
front-seat vehicle occupant's upper body
towards the center of the vehicle. It does this by
rapidly inflating an air cushion in the outer seat
side bolster of the seat backrest on the side on
which the impact is anticipated. This increases
the distance between the door and the vehicle
occupant.

If PRE-SAFE Impulse Side has been deployed or
is faulty, the display message PRE-SAFE Impulse
